Abstract: Disclosed is an electric fluid pump wherein a radial outer circumferential surface of a stator and an insulating flat surface of an insulating base part, on which crossover wire guides are mounted and which is perpendicular to the outer circumferential surface of the stator, are covered with a synthetic resin coating of predetermined thickness. Since the insulating flat surface of the insulating base part on which the crossover wire guides are mounted and the outer circumferential surface of the stator are covered with the synthetic resin coating, it is possible that, even when a winding force is exerted in a radially inward direction of the stator by winding of crossover wires on the crossover wire guides, the synthetic resin coating on the outer circumferential surface of the stator suppresses changes in the mounting angles of the crossover wire guides and thereby prevents loosening of the crossover wires.

When a mating face of the shroud with each of the blades is divided into a radially inward region and a radially outward region, and a mating face of each of the blades with the shroud is divided into a radially inward region and a radially outward region, a given weld range is set only in the radially inward region of the mating face of the shroud with each of the blades and the radially inward region of the mating face of each of the blades with the shroud.

Abstract: It is made easy for a stator winding to be wound around a stator core and degradation in efficiency is prevented as much as possible. A stator (6) includes a plurality of phases, i.e., of circumferentially divided stator magnetic poles (6a, 6b, 6c). The stator magnetic poles (6a, 6b, 6c) are each composed of an arcuate stator core (13) having a plurality of axially extending claw poles (16b) and a circumferentially elliptically wound stator winding (14). The stator magnetic poles (6a, 6b, 6c) are magnetically divided; therefore, magnetic flux leakage is reduced to improve efficiency. Air flowing between the stator magnetic poles (6a, 6b, 6c) can improve a cooling effect.
